In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.

Hatred of AI now reaching the level of cultural consensus that becomes attractive to advertisers

gotta make sure we connect the diarrhea back to the regime’s cdc layoffs that’s not just explosive diarrhea, it’s the trump trots.

Back on my bullshit (cooking ham with a little Shaoxing wine to make it taste Chinese for my fried rice)

a long skirt is butch to me. because of japanese girl gang aesthetics. a short skirt is also butch. because of lightning final fantasy.

@doodlemancy.com while you're recovering, I want to make sure you've seen the Shiitake Soaking Aparatus (cup with a bowl on top). You fill it most of the way with water, add a little soy sauce, and since the dried mushrooms float, you add a lid (condiment bowl) to press them down!

skincare is very important

Wrinkles and textured skin are beautiful, vibrant, and full of life. Folds and loose skin have beautiful shapes and volumes. If you view aged skin through the eyes of an artist, you gain a deep appreciation of its beauty 🖤

The news should be covering ICE like a serial killer on the loose

A good reminder that @animecornerstore.bsky.social still exists. I've ordered from them since I was a kid and it's a wonder they're still going. Website still looks like the way it always has and while prices are closer to retail, the service is smooth and has that personal touch.

the magic she loves

Sony buying the anime industry and then immediately trying to kill physical media is insane to me. Anime only exists because of DVD and blu-ray sales. They are throwing a horse in the ocean and telling it to evolve into a whale

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day!

Thinking about how fantasy dramas are seen as hokey, lowbrow shows in China and sort of a last resort for any respectable actor, meanwhile that's one of my very favorite genres. It's just like sci-fi used to be here! Give me special effects and cool worldbuilding any day!!!

I wonder this all the time. I think causes of prehistoric human depression was probably pretty similar to ours. Grief, alienation, loss of social connection, rejection (real and imagined), food insecurity, status anxiety, physical pain, disability, loss of agency, brain chemistry.

An unfathomable clean air act violation. I worked in this exact field for years, including in oil and gas, and i still can't get over how wanton and obvious this crime is. Just stunning

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Meanwhile none of these fuckers can name a single woman athlete who isn't Caitlin fucking Clark

Begging people to learn subject/object pronoun differentiation when you guys are memeing in archaic english. please. Do it for me

On the language of Homeric Greek, and the language of a certain forthcoming film: here are a few simple observations.

roberts et al have a mental model of racism as being defined entirely by the most atavistic mania of the jim crow south. if it isn’t that, if it wears suits and ties and speaks the language of national security and executive authority, then it not only doesn’t count, *it’s not racism*

People really do not appreciate the importance of the "do nothing" phase in the creative process. We are all about the kinetic energy, and forget its duality with potential energy.

it’s hard to explain how much shit like this has radicalized people. like i’m a white middle-aged broad who’s always been liberal but i’ve gone full-on “abolish ICE/reform scotus/the next dem candidate must commit to mass prosecutions” and you will not sway me from that position.

And lo! The instant she opened the box, demons of all kinds flew out: Fascism, Christian Supremacy, Antivaxxers, Technofeudalism... But Pandora managed to slam the lid shut just in time to trap the demon of Solemnity, thus guaranteeing that the whole thing would be very fucking funny

let's set up a playdate for our brainworms

convincing people that computers are smart was a huge mistake. computers are exactly as stupid now as they were in 1975, they're just much faster at stupid.

Jews are forbidden to benefit from theft, and we're commanded to preserve the earth. Therefore, we can and should demand religious exemptions from requirements to use AI at work. Thank you Rabbi Danya for this important work.

“they would love this” my dumb ass thinks as i get ready to share a post to the exact friend who just reposted it onto my feed in the first place

what i'd like to contribute to the ongoing masculinity discourse is that the truest sign of a fella's manfulness isn't his strength or his height or his successes with women. it's not about his job or how he dresses. it's about whether he has a cell-level desire to dig a big hole at the beach

One of the things that, as lead writer, I had to bang into the head of senior leadership sometimes was that writers were not interchangeable even within a project. One writer knew a certain companion inside and out. When we lost that writer, a new writer coming in took twice as long to do the work.

Ironically, high-viz vests help you hide in plain sight. They're great for tactical urbanism projects.

Anyway, Cohn's ironic epitaph on the NAMES Quilt is also an apt one for Graham and anyone else who uses their power to fuck over the communities in which they deny their own membership: Bully. Coward. Victim.

"It is, of course, an extraordinarily effective estrogenic agent, but that is the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known patient*, and so rapidly hypergolic that no induction period has ever been measured..."

Nice work, everyone! Keep it up!

this is genuinely one of the most important things happening in the country right now. do not entertain any politician who hedges about this in the primary or hints it's too complicated or controversial to touch. it's a life-and-death crisis for people I love. #akleg

The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ

"Strange Jigsaws" is now available for Mac!

so to be clear, the city didn't "give up." the last time they painted over the mural, sitting city council members alexis mercedes rinck and joy hollingsworth personally helped scrub the paint off, effectively rendering hot rat summer an official city monument.

It's in our DNA. Cardboard cats 😹😻 #cats #box #besttoyever
